#Booksky Spooktacular 2025 Day 18: Black Sheep by @rachelharrison.bsky.social takes the story of a young woman returning home, turns it on its head, and gives you a hell of a ride. Harrison excels at balancing trauma and black humor, and the story has a very human emotional honesty, despite… y’know.

Here’s our recommendations to add to your spooky TBR! Check out the books I’m recommending by these authors: @spookypurcell.bsky.social @rachelharrison.bsky.social @richardswanauthor.bsky.social @danhanks.bsky.social @carolinehardaker.bsky.social @premeemohamed.com

My book comes out today! It’s sad and funny and a little spooky and a lot mysterious and very weird, and you can buy it wherever fine books are sold in indie stores bookshop.org/p/books/happ...

Have you been playing nice? 👀 😈 A woman must confront the demons of her past when she attempts to fix up her childhood home in PLAY NICE by @rachelharrison.bsky.social, a devilishly clever take on the haunted house novel... https://tinyurl.com/4kjjhchh

I read Play Nice by Rachel Harrison and I loved it so much! It may be my favorite one by her. She writes female relationships so well, it has haunted houses, ghosts, twisted mother daughter and sister relationships. Plus the cover!💗💜 Highly recommend! 🩸📚 #booksky @rachelharrison.bsky.social

"The world will drive a woman insane, then point at them and laugh." Adding Play Nice to my favorite haunted house books list. It is also easily one of my favorites of @rachelharrison.bsky.social. (Black Sheep is still my GOAT of hers.)💜🖤🩷 #books #booksky

Here are some books that I recommend you check out while @bookshop.org has free shipping: "Play Nice" by @rachelharrison.bsky.social bookshop.org/p/books/play...

The Randomizet has finally spoken for me to read Such Sharp Teeth by @rachelharrison.bsky.social been looking forward to this one for a while!

I just listened to the audiobook of Play Nice and highly recommend it. Not too gory (there’s a bit, but it’s brief), scary but didn’t keep me awake. I’ve never lived in a haunted house, but my first place in LA had a bad feeling about it that took a few years to vanquish.

I am appearing at Storyfest with @claymcleod.bsky.social @rachelharrison.bsky.social @haileypiperfights.bsky.social and @joshmalerman.bsky.social to talk about WHY I LOVE HORROR and their place in the book. Rachel and I will be on appearance 3 together. Jersey Girls for the win!

Holy shit, we’re in Page Six! Look at that: bit.ly/4mYEedx @natcassidy.bsky.social @rachelharrison.bsky.social @titanbooks.bsky.social @pagesix.com

I always knew me, @rachelharrison.bsky.social, and @claymcleod.bsky.social would wind up on Page Six because of our shenanigans. Thankfully, we look goooooood in these photos.

Thank you to the New York Public Library for naming PLAY NICE one of the best new horror novels for adults 😈💕 www.nypl.org/books-more/r...

Last night's panel discussion at the NYPL with Becky Siegel Spratford, @rachelharrison.bsky.social, @victorlavalle.bsky.social, @claymcleod.bsky.social, and Grady Hendrix was one for the ages, all in celebration of Spratford's WHY I LOVE HORROR! I'm so glad I could be there and get my copy signed!

Thank you everyone who came and of course NYPL, the authors, and @sagapressbooks.bsky.social who all came out too. We had a great time and @rachelharrison.bsky.social got to be our final girl! Clay and I will make an encore performance Thurs at 7pm at The Twisted Spine in Brooklyn.

Will Neil survive having to relisten to an episode where @rachelharrison.bsky.social and I praise him effusively, or will he spontaneously combust before he can release it? ONLY TIME WILL TELL.

More @sgj.bsky.social and @rachelharrison.bsky.social in the house, and a bunch of new-to-me authors to discover. I dig it.

Waking up to find one of my favourite writers, the amazing @rachelharrison.bsky.social, shouting out The Night Guest in The New York Times was actually *not* on my bingo card for today, but here we still are!

Not gonna lie, this makes me unexpectedly emotional. After 15+ years as a working NYC playwright, with dozens of productions & scheduling near misses & pleading press agents, not to mention 5 published books, this is the *first* time anything I've written has gotten any coverage in the NYTimes.

Absolutely loved SUCH SHARP TEETH by @rachelharrison.bsky.social - werewolves yes but also a great mystery, horror, romance… written with a ton of with and charm. Big thumbs up!

I adore @rachelharrison.bsky.social so much!! Had a lovely afternoon and a great event at The Frenchtown Bookshop tonight!! Run out and get the bestseller Play Nice it’s amazing!!
